Salicylic acid collaborates with gene silencing to tomato defense against tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) [PDF]
Antiviral research in plants has been focused on RNA silencing (i.e. RNA interference), and several studies suggest that salicylic acid (SA)-mediated resistance is a key part of plant antiviral defense.

Dormant non-culturable Mycobacterium tuberculosis retains stable low-abundant mRNA [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli are believed to play an important role in latent tuberculosis infection. Previously, we have demonstrated that cultivation of M.

RNA Recognition and Cleavage by the SARS Coronavirus Endoribonuclease
The emerging disease SARS is caused by a novel coronavirus that encodes several unusual RNA-processing enzymes, including non-structural protein 15 (Nsp15), a hexameric endoribonuclease that preferentially cleaves at uridine residues. How Nsp15 recognizes and cleaves RNA is not well understood and is the subject of this study.

The endoribonuclease YbeY is linked to proper cellular morphology and virulence in 2 Brucella abortus [PDF]
The endoribonuclease YbeY is one of the most well conserved proteins across the kingdoms of life. In the present study, we demonstrate that YbeY in Brucella abortus is linked to a variety of important activities, including proper cellular morphology ...

The highly negatively charged phosphodiester groups of nucleic acids and cyclic (di‐)nucleotides often interact with amino acids containing polar or positively charged sidechains. Due to charge repulsion with their negatively charged carboxylate groups in their side chains, glutamate and aspartate are considered to be detrimental to such interactions ...

Ribonucleases facilitate rapid turnover of RNA, providing cells with another mechanism to adjust transcript and protein levels in response to environmental conditions. While many examples have been documented, a comprehensive list of RNase targets is not

In vitro reconstitution of Cascade-mediated CRISPR immunity in Streptococcus thermophilus [PDF]
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-encoded immunity in Type I systems relies on the Cascade (CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defence) ribonucleoprotein complex, which triggers foreign DNA degradation by an ...

The sequences and activities of RegB endoribonucleases of T4-related bacteriophages.
The RegB endoribonuclease encoded by bacteriophage T4 is a unique sequence-specific nuclease that cleaves in the middle of GGAG or, in a few cases, GGAU tetranucleotides, preferentially those found in the Shine-Dalgarno regions of early phage mRNAs.

Translational regulation in mycobacteria and its implications for pathogenicity. [PDF]
Protein synthesis is a fundamental requirement of all cells for survival and replication. To date, vast numbers of genetic and biochemical studies have been performed to address the mechanisms of translation and its regulation in Escherichia coli, but ...
